When clicked on, this bird doesn't even look real. He looks more like a drawing. Nice shot Rick....you visit some great places

Never seen this kind of bird before -- nicely done! great idea to add the inset of the page.
Not far from my house, too -- maybe you could share how to get here?

Nice shot rick. Is this in that park along 17? I like the reflection.

I was thinking that you should have made the inset into a stamp and posted it in the upper right corner.

Thanks everyone.

It's a very unique watershed / park /perculation ponds/water filtration/ creek system in the southbay.We are very fortunate to have such an ecosystem in the middle of a busy metro area.

Pam, Best way I have found is to start the Pruneyard/Campbell Park.
If you travel north on the trail you end up at Shoreline. Walking south you will reach Los Gatos, end up at Lexington Res. :thumbsup:
The main lake is between Campbell and Los Gatos. :thumbsup:

Yes,P.C. you will see this location from hi-way17 You know it!

The Los Gatos creek trail has a series of spillways, ponds, each has it's own ecosystem, most of these birds are year 'round.

It's a great place, I highly recommend you visit.If you are ever in San Jose. :thumbsup:

Thanks again,

Rick
